Omg, yes! so yes! Ah, this is pretty much the most romantic thing ever. Ahh, that surprise pocket moment. Ahh, love! (but seriously, this is actually a really helpful check-in which I will keep in mind! New goals. Thank you!!!)

Social media is a hotbed of relationship advice. An October video of Spelman University professor Jael Roberson’s empowering lecture on love went viral in which she said, “[If someone] wants to be with you, nothing will keep them from you. If someone wants to be in your life, nothing will keep them from being with you. Nothing. So if they can leave you, if they can text you, tell you ‘I’m out,’ let them leave…”

The same month, Jake, who goes by @squidslippers on Twitter, sought out love advice from his professor, who helped him craft such eloquent texts he actually scored a date, much to the internet’s delight. In response, many shared their own lengthy measures for finding love.
